Résultats après implantation de cellules de
moelle osseuse à la clinique Neurovita de Moscou par le Dr Brukhovetsky.
Le pinprick a été pratiqué le 16/05/05 par le Dr Cécile Jame-Collet, médecin généraliste diplômée de la Faculté Médecine de Dijon, et diplômée en Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise à la l’Université de Médecine de Paris-Nord, à la clinique de Monsieur Bohbot après les trois injections de cellules de moelle osseuse réalisées à la clinique Neurovita à Moscou. Ont été constatées les modifications suivantes par rapport au test du 05/10/04 : - Apparition d’une hypersensibilité à la piqûre au dessous du dermatome T6 face antérieure : jusqu’aux extrémités des orteils ; sur la face antérieure de la cuisse droite : apparition d’une piqûre atténuée et d’une pression sur la ligne médiane de l’abdomen entre T8 et T12. Face antérieure : sensibilité normale sur la fesse droite ; hypersensibilité sur la fesse gauche et la face postérieure des deux membres inférieurs, plante des pieds et orteils. Pas de changement observable entre T8 et S1 : cette zone non réactive préalablement existait au pinprick du 05/10/04. Pour la première fois, après son retour de Moscou, perception de sensations sous lésionnelles pendant les séances de laserponcture. Au niveau moteur, sur le fauteuil, commande volontaire de la jambe gauche. Extension de la jambe sur la cuisse. Les ponctions sont toujours faites au niveau L3 et L4. Vladimir a eu 3 transfusions de cellules de moelle osseuse en L2-L3 : le 24 février, et les 10 et 15 mars 2005. Plastie crânienne faite le 03/03/05. |
